The film was directed by Usual Suspect writer Christopher McQuarrie and offered a fast-pasted, intense plotline with Tom Cruise at the helm and Werner Herzog taking a pretty big role.

Jack Reacher Might Get A Sequel After AllWhen you consider the fact that the movie came out just shortly after the Newtown, Connecticut shootings and opens with a sniper gunning down eight people in cold blood, it's not a big surprise that Jack Reacher under performed when it hit theaters in the U.S. back in December....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-02-22 17:30:10comments
Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher Probably Never Getting A SequelJack Reacher had all the makings of a franchise. It starred Tom Cruise, of course--still a movie star after all these years-- and went heavy on the action and the mystery in its twisty plot. And it had the bonus of a ton of source material to draw from...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-01-15 08:23:43comments
Weekend Box Office: New Movies Get Stockings Full of CoalWith Christmas right around the corner and American audiences perhaps slightly more distracted by the specter of having just one weekend left to finish getting those last minute gifts, movie theaters were relatively quiet.

Christmas Movie Guide: How To Choose Between Jack Reacher, Django Unchained And MoreGoing to the movies on Christmas Day is usually thought of as a tradition for Jews, or anybody else not celebrating the holiday who's got the day off. But really, no matter how you're spending the holiday, there's probably going to be a time that you want to get out of the house and away from the family or friends you've gathered with-- or maybe you want to take them with you, but just get to a place where you don't have to talk to them much. ...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-12-18 20:12:33comments
Django Unchained And Jack Reacher Cancel Events After Newtown TragedyAfter any major, violent tragedy in the United States, the easiest and least constructive response is to blame the media. It happened after Columbine, it happened after the shooting in the theater playing The Dark Knight Rises this summer, and it's at least being suggested now, after the horrifying massacre in Newtown, Connecticut...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-12-18 10:16:29comments

New Jack Reacher Poster Looks Very FamiliarThe movie, based on the novel "One Shot" by Lee Child and written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, begins when a trained military sniper shoots and skills five people while perched in a parking garage overlooking a busy business plaza. The police, led by Detective Emerson (David Oyelowo), collect more than enough evidence to convict a man named James Barr (Joseph Sikora), but when they bring him in he only has one thing to say: "Bring me Jack Reacher."...by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-12-14 00:46:57comments
Tom Cruise Goes Badass In Two New Jack Reacher ClipsBecause I’ve read a number of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher mysteries over the years, a pretty clear vision of the wandering savior exists in a deep recess of my brain – the place where we envision what we are reading like if a movie were unfolding in my mind. Now that I’ve finally picked up One Shot, though, I can only picture Tom Cruise in the role, and it’s making me angry....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-12-12 14:40:57comments
It's Five Against One In New Clip From Jack ReacherTom Cruise may be kind of short - standing at 5'7" - but he has never looked out of place in a physical role. From the Mission: Impossible movies to Minority Report to Collateral, Cruise has never let his stature get in the way of his ability to intimidate. So while he may not be 6'5" and 250 pounds in Jack Reacher, I don't have a hard time believing that he can handle himself in a street brawl....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-12-05 18:40:40comments
International Jack Reacher Trailer Packs More Bone-Crunching FootageGiven the fact that the story is pulled from Lee Child’s book One Shot, this trailer finally sets up the sniper misdirection that drives the narrative, so we get a lot more footage at the beginning of the clip … followed by scenes you’ve likely seen of Tom Cruise in ass-kicking mode....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-12-05 07:29:48comments
Get The Backstory On Jack Reacher In The Film's First ClipJack Reacher begins when a trained sniper shoots five random people in the middle of a populated area. When the cops bring in their prime suspect, a trained army sniper named James Barr who left evidence of his involvement with the crime everywhere, he says only one thing: "Get me Jack Reacher." When Reacher (Tom Cruise), a trained army cop, gets to town he actually aims to bury Barnes for good, but when he starts looking into the case he discovers that something just isn't right....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-12-03 12:08:51comments
Jack Reacher Director Is Top Choice For Mission: Impossible 5At one point it looked like Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol might be the last Mission: Impossible film as we knew them, with Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt handing the franchise reins over to Jeremy Renner's younger character, and the whole thing dying a dignified if delayed death. Then it turned out that Ghost Protocol was fantastic...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-11-14 11:15:28comments

Jack Reacher UK Poster Provides Memories Of Ghost ProtocolLast year was a big one for Tom Cruise.

Because of that astounding success, it's no surprise that his next movie, which also happens to be coming from the same studio (Paramount Pictures), is trying out a similar marketing strategy to the action box office hit....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-10-04 15:17:26comments
Tom Cruise And Rosamund Pike Meet In New Jack Reacher ImageThere are many Lee Child fans who aren't exactly stoked that Tom Cruise is playing the titular character in the upcoming Jack Reacher.

Tom Cruise Revs Up Engines For U.S. Jack Reacher TrailerLike the international trailer, this clip sets up Cruise’s character, Jack Reacher, as an above-the-law vigilante who isn’t interested in obeying rules. In reality, Reacher is a former military investigator who's now trying to solve a mysterious case involving a very talented sniper. And as I mentioned when the international trailer dropped, he looks an awful lot like Ethan Hunt, Cruise’s unstoppable agent from Paramount’s Mission: Impossible franchise....by Sean O'Connell | published: 2012-07-03 11:41:46comments
Tom Cruise Channels Jack Reacher In First International TrailerReacher is the star of several Lee Child novels, and Paramount envisions Jack Reacher to be the start of a possible trilogy of films. It will be based on Child’s book One Shot, introducing Cruise as the tough-as-nails hero and setting the stage for more stories. The movie opens in December.

Tom Cruise Thriller One Shot Adds Beauty Alexia Fast To CastFast will play Sandy, a beautiful but potentially treacherous character who will be used to dupe Cruise’s hero.
